A Trip To My Local Card Shop: Spring Fever Packs!

This year, I had purchased and ripped two boxes of 2013 Topps Series 1 and pulled two of the Spring Fever redemption cards.  I was heading away from home for a few days, but was lucky enough to have the trip scheduled for the day AFTER the Spring Fever packs were released to the public.  I made a late trip to my local card shop (Batter's Up in Tewksbury, MA) on February 20th to redeem my cards for two Spring Fever packs.  My card shop was fully stocked and prepared when I arrived, so it was a quick and easy redemption process.

The guys at Batter's Up are very friendly and I always have great conversations with them whenever I visit.  While I was at the shop, they had a few extra packs from National Hockey Card Day so he gave me two packs of those as well.  I saw that they had a blaster box of 2012 Topps Gypsy Queen, so I picked that up too since I was thinking of trying to complete the set.

My two packs of Spring Fever were good, but unfortunately I didn't receive an autograph.  Some players of note were: Mike Trout, Cal Ripken Jr., Stan Musial and Matt Kemp.  While I really like the cards, I am happy that I didn't go overboard and purchase a lot of the redemption cards.  It seems like others have complained about the pack collation and receiving a lot of extras.

All the cards are for trade and I also have the cards from my National Hockey Card Day packs for trade.

Until next time, keep collecting!
